Set up the division problem with the dividend inside and the divisor outside.
Divide the whole-number part first.
Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
If the divisor does not go into the current part, write 0 in the quotient and bring down the next digit.
Bring down digits one at a time and continue dividing.
Add zeros to the dividend after the decimal if needed to keep dividing.
Subtract after each step and bring down the next digit.
Continue until the division terminates or repeats.
Check the answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor.
